One of Public Health England's priorities is to tackle obesity, particularly in children. Health visitors are ideally placed to identify and support families of children at risk from obesity, but research shows they lack the training and confidence to do so. This article describes a short-term local scheme that offered support by a specially trained health visitor to families in their own homes. The health visitor was trained using a family partnership model that teaches how to work with parents and carers to help them implement their own solutions.
英国公共卫生部门的首要任务之一是解决肥胖问题，尤其是儿童肥胖问题。健康访视员最适合识别和支持有肥胖风险的儿童家庭，但研究表明他们缺乏这样做的培训和信心。本文介绍了一项短期的地方计划，该计划由经过专门培训的健康访视员在家庭中为家庭提供支持。健康访视员采用家庭合作模式进行培训，该模式教授如何与父母及照顾者合作，帮助他们实施自己的解决方案。
